WARNING: Do not lean your head
on the door. The side airbag could injure
you as it deploys from the side of the
seatback.
The side airbags are on the outermost side
of the seat backrests of the front seats. In
certain sideways crashes or rollovers, the
airbags will be inflated. The airbag was
designed to inflate between the door panel
and occupant to further enhance the
protection provided to occupants in side
impact crashes.

HOW DO THE KNEE AIRBAGS
WORK
WARNING: Close the glove box
door when your vehicle is moving. Failure
to follow this instruction could reduce
the effectiveness of the passenger knee
airbag and increase the risk of injury in a
crash.
A driver knee airbag is under or within the
instrument panel. A passenger knee airbag
is within or under the glove box door.
During a crash, the restraints control
module may activate the driver and
passenger knee airbags based on crash
severity and occupant conditions. Under
certain crash and occupant conditions, the
driver and passenger knee airbag may
deploy but the driver front airbag may not
activate. As with front and side airbags, it
is important to be properly seated and
restrained to reduce the risk of death or
serious injury.
Make sure the knee airbags are
operating properly. See Crash
Sensors and Airbag Indicator
E67017
(page 62).

WARNING: Do not place objects
or mount equipment on or near the
